Some articles

How are we gong to handle articles like Bhagavad Giita, Tantra, Veda, Upanishad? Should we have these articles in Sarkarverse with Shrii Sarkar and AM's views and commentaries on it and after that it can be written "for more details, please see this Wikipedia article?

• We'll have our own articles. I'm sure that Baba has said more on these subjects than what you would find on Wikipedia. So we definitely would not have anything like a link to WP with "For more details". I think that once we have a few articles like this, the path forward will become clear. --Abhidevananda (talk) 04:00, 16 June 2014 (MDT)

Android

i am using this website using android device. But i feel it will be excellent if we get an android app like wikipedia.--Tito☸Dutta 21:07, 20 June 2014 (MDT)

Archive.is

Archive.is URLs were banned from Wikipedia with an accusation that owners are using bots to flood Wikipedia with their links. Many people including me, think this is an excellent site. Should we use that at Sarkarverse? --Tito☸Dutta 01:12, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

I have no idea on this. But if there is a chance that it will flood Sarkarverse with links, I would lean toward No. --Abhidevananda (talk) 05:08, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

• No, they will not target a small project.Wikipedia is a different thing.The allegation was not proved too. --Tito☸Dutta 05:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Uci, Nici redirect

There has been some confusions over having uci and nici redirects.I have been keeping these redirects. For example, this redirct. So far, according to our consensus, articles titles will not have uci, nici, but article body may contain special characters, and if a title with uci/nici/special characters is linked in article body, a redirect will be required. In addition, please check "what links here" before deleting redirects/any page as it breaks many links. Tito☸Dutta 05:43, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

• I have got some more information— 10,000 redirects will take less than 2.5 MB space. So the space redirects take is almost negotiable. Tito☸Dutta 12:43, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

It's less about size than just clutter in our search engine. When a user starts searching and sees two or three similarly titled articles, one after another, it can be confusing. Even if it's not confusing, it's pointless. --Abhidevananda (talk) 12:58, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

How to link?

This is becoming more confusing. Example: I am unsure how to link "Nirguna bhakti" in the second line of the "Description" section here. If I link general Roman text, it becomes inconsistent with other Roman Sanskrit inclusions in article body (as we are allowing Roman Sanskrit in article body, and if I link Roman Sanskrit Nirguńa bhakti, it'll require a redirect. Tito☸Dutta 10:03, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't understand the issue. I can link nirguńa bhakti without a redirect (other than what is usual when the words that are linked don't match the article title. --Abhidevananda (talk) 07:15, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
